Description
About 600 endophitic fungi isolated from Humulus lupulus and Crocus sativus and about 200 strains of lignicolous fungi from various forest environments of central Italy. Each strain was isolated in PDA medium, sub-cultured and stored in pdb-glicerol at -80 °C. Strain typing is ongoing by molecular analysis of ITS region. The collection will be screened for identification of potential biocontrol agents and enzymatic activities and metabolites of biotechnological interest.
